Business Analytics provides control of user interactions to register or create mashable information sources, mashups and apps and secure access for all users to work with these artifacts based on policies that you define.
*Change password: For reasons of security we strongly recommend that the Business Analytics administrator should change the standard Business Analytics password after installation. See Change technical user password.
*User Authentication: based on the protocols shown above. You can also allow anonymous access if needed. See Authentication and Guest Access for details.
*Authorization Policies: to determine the actions that users can perform with mashables, mashups and apps. Policies also determine user access to the features and tools in Business Analytics Hub and the Business Analytics Enterprise AppDepot. See Authorization Policies and Permissions for details.
*Security Profiles: that define the requirements for secure communication with mashable information sources.
Business Analytics supports the well-known protocols shown above. Business Analytics developers can also create custom security profiles to support mashable information sources with unique requirements.
*Feature Security: to control any features in the Business Analytics platform that have security implications, such as scripting access in mashups, or that may conflict with the security requirements of your organization. See Disable Mashup Features and Configure the Default Operations Generated for Database Mashable for more information.
Please consider the following security-relevant aspects :
*Always keep your operating system, installed components and applications updated. Run necessary security updates on a regular basis, in particular for your Web-Browser and installed plug-ins.
*Always keep your Business Analytics installation updated. Regularly check if new fixes are available for your installation and install them.
*To prevent unauthorized access to your system, only a limited number of users should be granted direct system access (e.g., remote RDP access or directly via a management console).
*Limit network access by operating the server components behind a firewall. Only necessary services should be open in the firewall (e. g. database).
*Hide network ports used solely for internal communication between server components.
